Not 2 Players? Nope, I figured that even if two players where being controlled, one of the players would have to wipe out all the enemies with a musical move anyway, thus leaving either player 1 or player 2 stagnant.

Gathering multiple enemies at once will clear the screen faster, rather than focus on 1 enemy at a time with Y and a heavy X punch. The only real way this would be faster is if the screen only had 1 enemy altogether, there are several cases, small cases, but it does happen. If an enemy can follow you to other enemies it's faster. The problem with this game is that some screens only have 1 enemy, then and only then do more appear, this happens in Snowy Village & Forest of Mythrandir, there are probably more places, but those are the places that come to mind.
Why did you scream at the first enemy when it's literally faster just to knock them out without a special?
There's only one enemy on the first screen. Just a single enemy. That you wasted time using your special on.

I didn't jump or punch if you want to know how I saved almost 30 frames, and yes that kills the 3 enemies.
Also you could've just yelled at the Crystal Guard that comes down by hang glider instead of hitting them then yelling at 'em.+fsvgm777 never censoring anything.

Based on that, I'm assuming that sub 22 is likely possible, yes?
Edit: For the sake of a comparison, and a showcase.
Here's 1 player comparison on the first level.
6754 vs 7112 on the Start input to advance from the stage cleared screen.
I also need to do a correction to a comment.
The Glider can be manipulated to die to just the scream.
I found this out when doing my input from scratch and he didn't die in one hit, until I made him.
(I input the scream early, so it's the game waiting for him to land on the ground to be knocked out)
The way I made 'im is that I delayed how quickly I killed the previous enemy.
Delaying the input when he appears also works, but that looks like a mess, so it's better to hide one.
Edit 2: Corrected my Zink fight now it ends at 6617.
Edit 3: Decided to look at your final two attacking inputs on the final boss, cause I really can't be bothered doing a full boss fight.
You could've finished that boss faster than 79377 frames.
I write faster than, cause that's just correcting two inputs, your final input without two inputs being corrected ends at 79409.
(Yes, the movie isn't truncated properly)
So to answer that question I respond to with "most likely" it's more like most definitely.
In TAStime you can probably sub a 21:30 maybe even a sub/low 21.+fsvgm777 never censoring anything.
I can't for the life of me understand what button it is that makes Cornelius face left instead of facing right.

Both Spike and I attack the left two enemies first. I believe this yields a faster time due to death animation timing with the game only having to process 1 enemy on the 2nd scream...but that's speculation and I can't (currently) prove it.
Doing it this way requires walking right further before doing the first scream, hence the attack not happening until frame 1737.
I can't comment on the glider as I haven't tested that far (nor am I particularly interested in doing so).
Another question: I know you've at least tested one other character; but have you tested ALL the other characters to confirm that this is indeed the best character to use for the game?
TASing is not about just doing something fast and quickly submitting.
It requires doing something, then doing something else, then something else, then something else, and so on...until you've tested every possibility you can imagine to see which is actually fastest. It's a time-consuming process and not something that typically occurs in a short span of time. I'm not trying to discourage you...simply trying to get you to slow down and pay more attention to the quality of what you're submitting instead of rushing to do submissions as quickly as possible.
I'll reiterate what EZGames69 warned earlier: If you continue to submit runs that are noticeably sub-optimal, you'll put yourself at risk of being banned from submitting.
I'd encourage you to cancel this submission and once again re-evaluate it. Spend more time with it. Try different methods...even actions that may not initially seem faster can ultimately yield a better overall time as the above situation proves -- delaying the first scream and changing it's direction actually yields a faster time to moving onward.
Technickle, this has happened too many times where you submit movies that are still suboptimal and easily improbable by spike. Is there a reason for this? Are you spending enough time making your movies? Are you struggling with anything in terms of the tools you use? Despite the hostility being exhibited in this thread, there are people around here that can help you learn how the tools work or some tips in optimization. However, If you keep this up, you are going to lose your submission privileges eventually. I would rather you try to learn something from all of this, but I’m not seeing it here. If you need help, just ask for it.
The only mistake a TASer can do is not fixing mistakes that were already made. If it's been fixed, it's not a mistake, but experience! Just actually take your time and study the thing.
